The Mirror of Sway

The colgadas are difficult to learn, and the balance of the forces between the man and woman as they move does not come. They stumble and fall apart.

She calls for music, and her partner settles them into place as the strains of the instruments fill the tiny milonga and take hold.

They are a perfect counterbalance.

They make each other antigravitational.
